Frustrated and Embarrassed by Erectile Dysfunction(ED) or Impotence

Few experiences are as disheartening to the intimacy of a loving couple as erectile dysfunction, the inability of the male partner to achieve and maintain an erection.

This means even though a man has a strong desire to perform sexual act with a cooperative partner, he can not perform sexual act because of looseness (absense of erection) of his penis. Even if he performs the sexual act with his determined efforts he does not get the erection and gets afflicted with tiredness, perspiration and frustration to perform sex or intercourse.

The term erectile dysfunction can mean the inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve only brief erections. ED (erectile dysfunction) may sometimes be even termed as Impotence.

The likelihood of developing it increases with age. It is estimated that 1 in 10 men over the age of 21 suffer from impotence of ED (erectile dysfunction); most men suffer in silence. In America today, it is estimated that 25 to 30 million men suffer from erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence or ED.
